Love：KI的三分對克里夫蘭及LBJ的歷史地位影響巨大，騎士應該退休他的球衣
Brooklyn Nets All-Star guard Kyrie Irving had a very successful six-year run wit
h the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2011 to 2017. After being drafted number one by t
he Cavs in 2011, Irving went on to make four All-Star teams in Cleveland. He als
o helped lead the Cavs to their first and only NBA championship in franchise his
tory in 2016.
布魯克林籃網隊全明星後衛KI在2011年到2017年於克里夫蘭騎士隊度過了非常成功的六年。
在2011年被騎士隊選中後，KI在克里夫蘭四次入選全明星。 2016年，他還幫助騎士隊獲得
了隊史上第一個也是唯一一個NBA總冠軍。
Irving’s short but successful stint in Cleveland has led to some debate about w
hether he deserves to have his jersey number retired by the franchise. However,
according to Irving’s former Cavs teammate, Kevin Love, this should not even be
a question. Here's what Love said following the Cavs’ 125-117 loss to Irving a
nd the Nets on Monday:
KI在克里夫蘭短暫而成功的經歷引發了一些關於他的球衣是否應該被球隊退休的爭論。然而
，根據KI的前騎士隊友Love的說法，這甚至不應該是一個問題。以下是Love在騎士117-125
輸給KI和籃網後說的話：
“Without a doubt. Absolutely. Right away, after his career ends. It’s not even
a question to me."
Love：毫無疑問，這是絕對的，在他職業生涯結束後騎士應該馬上退休他的球衣，對我來說
這都不算一個問題。
Love added that Irving’s iconic series-clinching 3-pointer in Game 7 of the 201
6 NBA Finals is the main reason why Irving deserves the honor. Love explained ho
w big of an impact Irving’s shot had on both the team and the city of Cleveland
as a whole:
Love補充說，KI在2016年NBA總冠軍賽第七場的三分決定了系列賽的勝負，這是KI配得上這
份榮譽的主要原因。Love解釋了KI的這球對球隊和克里夫蘭整座城市的巨大影響：
“He needs to be up there. He made the biggest shot in franchise history and one
of the most important shots in finals history when you consider how it all went
down. What it meant for the city, what it meant for his legacy, LeBron’s legac
y and everything else, including that Golden State team that became a dynasty an
d was historically great."
Love：他的球衣應該掛在上面。他投進了隊史最關鍵的一球，那也是總冠軍賽歷史上最重要
的進球之一，你要考慮到那一球對克里夫蘭意味著什麼，對他的歷史地位意味著什麼，對LB
J的歷史地位意味著什麼，對其他一切意味著什麼，包括那支勇士隊將會建立歷史上偉大的
王朝。
“Seen that before. The shots he makes, you just have to sit there and say, ‘No
t much you can do about that.’ It’s been that way his whole career. That’s wh
y he’s been such a special player in this league and continues to be.”
Love：我看過他的這種表現了，對於他投進的那些球，你坐在那只能說「你對此無能為力。
」他整個生涯都有這種表現，這是他在這個聯盟成為一個特別球員的原因，未來也將會是如
此。
